NorthEast United FC vs Hyderabad FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Having broken their nine-match winless streak against Hyderabad last December, NorthEast United is set for another showdown with the Nizams. This time, they’ll have the roaring support of their home crowd at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium. The clash kicks off on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. IST.

The Highlanders come into this clash seeking a much-needed win, as they have gone winless in their last four outings but unbeaten nonetheless—a fine line they’ll aim to cross in front of their home crowd. On the flip side, Hyderabad, out of playoff contention, has found their groove, going unbeaten in their last three matches. Their latest was a thrilling 3-2 victory over Jamshedpur. 

Hyderabad FC has long been a thorn in NorthEast United's side, but the Highlanders finally shattered that hoodoo in style, delivering a resounding 5-2 victory over the Nizams—making a bold statement with their dominant performance. However, the tables have turned, as Hyderabad FC is riding high on confidence, while NorthEast United is struggling to find theirs, facing an uphill battle as momentum shifts.

Current Standings: At this point in time, Hyderabad FC continues to languish at the bottom of the table in 12th spot with 13 points, while NorthEast are placed 6th with 25 points from 17 matches. 

Head-to-head Record: In their 11 ISL clashes, Hyderabad has had the better of Northeast with an impressive 6-2 win-loss record. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

NorthEast United FC Preview

NorthEast's struggles continued as they failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity against the Blasters, who played with 10 men for over an hour. Despite the advantage, NorthEast couldn’t break through, leaving fans frustrated and questions mounting. The stalemate cost the Highlanders dearly, dropping them a spot in the table and leaving them three points adrift of fourth-placed Jamshedpur, further denting their playoff hopes.

Despite boasting the third-best xG in the league, of late the Highlanders have struggled to create and convert chances. In their four draws, they've failed to score in two, a problem magnified against the Blasters. With 18 attempts, only three were on target, producing a modest xG of 0.83, highlighting their attacking woes.

1. NorthEast United have been without a win in their last four matches ( L,D,D,D) at home.

Hyderabad FC Preview

The ISL is heating up, with top teams walking a tightrope as fearless underdogs make their mark. Hyderabad FC, the league's ultimate disruptors, have already caused chaos—forcing Bengaluru FC and FC Goa to drop points in their  1-1 draws  and stunning Jamshedpur FC with a 3-2 victory, further tightening the race for the playoffs. That 3-2 win was a massive boost for Hyderabad FC, ending a frustrating run of nine winless games. Not only did they break the drought, but they also dominated the game, controlling 54.1% of possession and proving they were the better side on the night.

While Hyderabad FC may be out of the playoff race, they can still play the role of disrupters, threatening NorthEast’s chances. With their recent momentum and newfound confidence, they’ll be aiming to continue their disruptive run and knock others down along the way.
